Lu Ming and Sheng Youde studied until midnight, but still had no results. They both felt physically and mentally exhausted.
If we must retaliate against the Japanese, it seems that we can only create a suicide bombing in Hongqiao Park. There is no other way.
As long as the bomb is detonated, it will be considered a success no matter how many Japanese are killed or who their identities are.
This was probably Nanjing's intention. The main purpose was to frighten the Japanese and prove that the anti-Japanese power of the Chinese people was not only not dead, but was spreading.
"You'd better not be directly involved in this matter, otherwise you might be offered up as a scapegoat." Sheng Youde shook his head.
From the beginning, Sheng Youde disapproved of Lu Ming's involvement in the assassination, but Lu Ming was determined to take revenge on the Japanese.
"You don't understand the Chairman. No matter what he does, he always finds a scapegoat first. It is his credit that things get done, and it is someone else's fault that things go wrong." Sheng Youde reminded.
"I know. This has nothing to do with him. It's because I have a psychological knot that I can't get over." Lu Ming said calmly.
Of course Lu Ming knew that the chairman of the committee put him in charge of this plan, and he must have made two plans. He might be sacrificed as a scapegoat at any time.
But even after knowing this, Lu Ming still did not flinch and was unwilling to give up this operation.
"You know you still want to do this?" Sheng Youde said angrily.
"Old man, if you don't fuck the Japanese hard, I won't be able to get out of my heart, I will be suffocated to death!" Lu Ming grinned.
Sheng Youde looked at Lu Ming like a trapped animal and could only smile bitterly, but his heart still moved slightly. Only in front of him would Lu Ming tell the truth and completely expose his inner thoughts.
According to common sense, Sheng Youde does not agree with acting on impulse. A shrewd businessman pays attention to the ratio of investment and return and pursues profit maximization. Fighting is a stupid approach.
"If you are doing intelligence work now, you should know that strategic intelligence is the most valuable. You should strive to hit the enemy's most lethal place in macro-decision-making, rather than hurting the enemy's hair." Sheng Youde summarized.
"I understand what you are saying, but this time we are going to kill high-ranking Japanese officials, and they are holding a celebration, which is too outrageous." Lu Ming said angrily.
"From a strategic point of view, Japan's senior officials are not even worth a hair. Just do this. Don't focus on this aspect in the future. There are many valuable things that can be done." Sheng Youde said.
One yawned.
Lu Ming did not agree with Sheng Youde's statement in his heart. Although the Songhu Anti-Japanese War was won, the Shanghai Municipal Government was forced to agree to the four unreasonable demands of the Japanese, which seriously hurt the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people.
How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? Now we urgently need something to revive the people's anti-Japanese sentiment and dampen the enemy's arrogance.
Lu Ming also felt uneasy. In his opinion, every operative was an anti-Japanese elite and a soldier of the country, and should not sacrifice himself in a suicide operation.
But now it seems that there is no way to have both ends, unless this operation is abandoned.
"By the way, you have to be careful about that new guy. What's his name?" Sheng Youde said.
"Weng Bailing." Lu Ming said.
"Yes, this guy is very insidious, you should be more careful in the future." Sheng Youde knocked on the table.
"Insidious? No way. I just had dinner with him in the evening, and he asked me to support him more. As for insidious, Kang Ze was quite a figure in the past. When he left, the society was in peace." Lu Ming
Don't care about Tao.
"This person is even more insidious than Kang Ze. If he wants to achieve results in Shanghai, of course he has to seek your support, but after using you, he will turn his back on you. The Chairman is this kind of person, and he taught him
Most students can also do this trick." Sheng Youde reminded.
"Yes, I understand." Lu Ming nodded, as if he had realized something, and said with emotion: "There is no one who is not insidious in intelligence. There is not a single fuel-efficient lamp in that building."
The Foreign Correspondents' Club and the Renaissance Society where he belongs are almost two extremes.
The foreign journalists in the Press Club are almost all the elites in the press circles of various countries. However, these people are superb in their work but also arrogant and do not even bother to play tricks and play tricks on others.
But these guys in the Fuxing Society are all carefully selected people, but they are all addicted to conflicts between people.
Lu Ming saw all this in his eyes, and usually just smiled and forgot about it, never delving into it.
His status in the Fuxing Society was relatively aloof and he was not involved in the whirlpool of overt and covert struggles, but he also knew that when he was in it, he could not ignore matters that were not his own. It would be a matter of time before he got involved.
"Actually, you were implicated by me. The chairman has always been worried about me. He wanted to completely control me, but he couldn't find a breakthrough, so he wanted to find my weakness in you." Sheng Youde said with a smile.
"Why would he do this to you? You have never offended him." Lu Ming didn't understand.
In Lu Ming's view, Mr. Jiang needs Sheng Youde's money bag. The two of them should be intimate. How could it become a relationship of control and escape?
"This is politics. Money and power are the two legs of politics. The chairman always feels that these two legs are inconsistent. To put it bluntly, he thinks that I am pro-communist and pose a threat to his power. The fact is not what he thinks.
I'm just a nationalist." Sheng Youde had a mocking look on his face.
Seeing the confusion on Lu Ming's face, Sheng Youde also knew that he couldn't understand this truth yet, but sooner or later he would understand it.
"However, it cannot be said that the chairman of the committee did something wrong. Do you know what money represents? Sima Gong once said that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Sima Gong was the first to understand this problem
People." Sheng Youde sighed.
"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food. Is this what it means?" Lu Ming asked.
"There have been various wars and disputes in human history. What were they for? Money. Why fight for money? In fact, it is basically for power." Sheng Youde further analyzed.
"Oh, between money and power, you have me, and I have you." Lu Ming understood.
"Yes, people are chasing power in the secular structure, that is, officials. In fact, they want to have the power to collect and distribute money. If there is no money, officials will not be officials and the government will collapse. So it is essentially a question of money.
.You can talk to Mu Yi more when you have time, she has done more in-depth research in this area." Sheng Youde smiled.
Lu Ming heard something vague, maybe because of his family background. He was not interested in things like money and power. What he pursued was a free life.
Now there is friction between China and Japan. The Republic of China government is preparing for war, but it is short of money. If the chairman wants to control power, he must first control money.
Lu Ming could only form such a cycle in his mind. In this way, he could also understand why the chairman wanted to control Sheng Youde.
However, if I am involved in this relationship, my life will not be easy in the future.
"Hey, why have I begun to break away and become Sheng Youde II?" Lu Ming thought to himself and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Why are you laughing? I support you spending money lavishly, just to prevent them from trapping you and using money to buy your freedom. Do you understand?" Sheng Youde reminded.
"Oh, I understand." Lu Ming smirked.
"Your idea of setting up a secret service school is very good, but you must keep this secret service school firmly in your own hands. From now on, this is your territory and cannot be taken away by anyone, not even the Chairman. We cannot be used by them.
That's enough, then kick him away." Sheng Youde said.
"I know, I still hope to cultivate talents to fight with the Japanese in the future." Lu Ming nodded.
He has not disclosed the establishment of the secret service school to the Fuxing Club now, but is quietly advancing it on his own, preparing to use it as his own private residence.
Although he borrowed the government's permission, he invited the Soviet experts using his personal connections, and he took care of all the preparatory work. Naturally, Sheng Youde paid for it without spending a penny from the government.
"Don't give up easily here at Fuxing Society. We must establish a firm foothold in it and gradually open up our own territory." Sheng Youde said.
Lu Ming nodded. He completely agreed with Sheng Youde's opinions on these points. The Fuxing News Agency and the special correspondent of the "Washington Post" were two of his talents, and neither one could be missing.
